|
| 5 |
+[CMake][] has many useful features but requires verbose per-project |
|
| 6 |
+configuration to enable them. This helper allows you to just place your files |
|
| 7 |
+where everyone expects them to be anyway, install the tools you want to use, |
|
| 8 |
+and things like downloading dependencies, linting, building, testing, |
|
| 9 |
+sanitizing, packaging (build artifacts, assets, documentation), and installing |
|
| 10 |
+will automatically be enabled. |

+### Main target |
|
| 74 |
+ |
|
| 75 |
+If there are files in the `src` and/or `include` directories, they are added as |
|
| 76 |
+sources to a single "main" target, which is assumed to already be declared with |
|
| 77 |
+the name `${`[`PROJECT_NAME`][]`}` (which is automatically set by CMake when
|
|
| 78 |
+calling [`project`][]). The "main" target may be of any type, such as [normal |
|
| 79 |
+executable][], [normal library][], [interface library][], or [custom target][] |
|
| 80 |
+(the latter probably with the `ALL` specifier, so that it is added to the |
|
| 81 |
+default build target so that it will be run every time). |
|
| 82 |
+ |
|
| 83 |
+[`PUBLIC`][] dependencies are taken from `DEPENDENCIES_PUBLIC` and |
|
| 84 |
+[`PRIVATE`][] dependencies are taken from `DEPENDENCIES_PRIVATE`, see |
|
| 85 |
+[Dependencies][]. |
|
| 86 |
+ |
|
| 87 |
+For [top level project][]s, `*Config.cmake` and `*ConfigVersion.cmake` files |
|
| 88 |
+that can be used by [`find_package`][] to find this project are |
|
| 89 |
+[`install`][]ed, see [Packaging][]. |

+### Test targets |
|
| 106 |
+ |
|
| 107 |
+For [top level project][]s, every file directly under the `tests` directory is |
|
| 108 |
+individually added as a source to a separate executable "test" target, which is |
|
| 109 |
+automatically declared with the name `${PROJECT_NAME}-test-${TEST_NAME}` and
|
|
| 110 |
+passed to [`add_test`][]. All files in the `tests/common` directory are also |
|
| 111 |
+added as sources to all "test" targets. |
|
| 112 |
+ |
|
| 113 |
+A ([`PRIVATE`][]) dependency on the "main" target is declared and further |
|
| 114 |
+([`PRIVATE`][]) dependencies are taken from `DEPENDENCIES_TESTS`, see |
|
| 115 |
+[Dependencies][]. |
|
| 116 |
+ |
|
| 117 |
+CMake can be run with the standard `-D`[`BUILD_TESTING`][]`=OFF` to disable |
|
| 118 |
+testing. |
|
| 119 |
+ |
|
| 120 |
+See [Testing][]. |

+[Testing]: #testing |
|
| 125 |
+ |
|
| 126 |
+### Assets |
|
| 127 |
+ |
|
| 128 |
+If there are files in the `assets` directory, a target named |
|
| 129 |
+`${PROJECT_NAME}-assets` that runs by default and [symlink][]s them to
|
|
| 130 |
+`${`[`CMAKE_BINARY_DIR`][]`}/assets` is automatically declared.
|
|
| 131 |
+ |
|
| 132 |
+If the path does not include `/tests/`, the asset is [`install`][]ed into |
|
| 133 |
+`${`[`CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR`][]`}/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}/assets` (note that
|
|
| 134 |
+`CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME` is the name of the [top level project][]), see |
|
| 135 |
+[Packaging][]. |

|
| 140 |
+ |
|
| 141 |
+### Documentation |
|
| 142 |
+ |
|
| 143 |
+For [top level project][]s, documentation from the `doc` directory and |
|
| 144 |
+repository root is automatically [`install`][]ed, see [Packaging][]. |
|
| 145 |
+ |
|
| 146 |
+### Man pages |
|
| 147 |
+ |
|
| 148 |
+For [top level project][]s, [man page][]s from the `man` directory is |
|
| 149 |
+automatically [`install`][]ed, see [Packaging][]. |
|
| 150 |
+ |
|
| 151 |
+[man page]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_page |
|
| 152 |
+ |
|
| 153 |
+### Dependencies |
|
| 154 |
+ |
|
| 155 |
+Dependencies on other targets are declared with `DEPENDENCIES_PUBLIC`, |
|
| 156 |
+`DEPENDENCIES_PRIVATE`, and `DEPENDENCIES_TESTS`, see [Main target][] and [Test |
|
| 157 |
+targets][]. |
|
| 158 |
+ |
|
| 159 |
+Three mechanisms to make these dependencies available are provided, given as |
|
| 160 |
+arguments to the `common` function: |
|
| 161 |
+ |
|
| 162 |
+- `PACKAGES`: Packages passed to [`find_package`][]`(...)` in order to find |
|
| 163 |
+ system packages. |
|
| 164 |
+- `EXTERNAL`: Subdirectories of `external` that is passed to |
|
| 165 |
+ [`add_subdirectory`][]. |
|
| 166 |
+- `FETCHCONTENT`: [Git][] [URL][]s passed to [`FetchContent_Declare`][]'s |
|
| 167 |
+ `GIT_REPOSITORY`. If a specific [Git tag][] is wanted, specify it in the |
|
| 168 |
+ same (quoted) argument, delimited with `GIT_TAG`, see [Usage][]. |
|
| 169 |
+ (`GIT_SHALLOW` and `GIT_PROGRESS` are always set to `TRUE`). |
|
| 170 |
+ [`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`][] is automatically called in order to |
|
| 171 |
+ download and make targets available during the CMake configure step. |
|
| 172 |
+ |
|
| 173 |
+If more involved steps are required to make targets available, perform them |
|
| 174 |
+manually before calling the `common` function. |

|

+[Preprocessor definitions][] can be specified with the `DEFINITIONS` argument |
|

+### Language version |
|
| 194 |
+ |
|
| 195 |
+For [top level project][]s, the `CXX_STANDARD` argument to the `common` |
|
| 196 |
+function sets the [`CXX_STANDARD`][] property applied to configured targets |
|
| 197 |
+([`CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED`][] is always set to `ON`, [`CXX_EXTENSIONS`][] is |
|
| 198 |
+always set to `OFF`). |

+### Build options |
|
| 205 |
+ |
|
| 206 |
+For [top level project][]s, aggressive warnings are enabled and treated as |
|
| 207 |
+errors. |
|
| 208 |
+ |
|
| 209 |
+For projects compiled with [GCC][] or [Clang][], [`-Wshadow`][] is enabled by |
|
| 210 |
+default, but can be disabled by passing `DISABLE_WSHADOW` to the `common` |
|
| 211 |
+function. |
|
| 212 |
+ |
|
| 213 |
+For projects compiled with [MSVC][], [`/Zc:__cplusplus`][] is enabled. |
|
| 214 |
+ |
|
| 215 |
+If supported, [interprocedural optimization][] (also known as link-time |
|
| 216 |
+optimization) is enabled. |
|
| 217 |
+ |
|
| 218 |
+For projects compiled with the `Debug` [build type][] with [GCC][] or |
|
| 219 |
+[Clang][], [address sanitizer][] ([wiki][address sanitizer wiki]), [leak |
|
| 220 |
+sanitizer][] ([wiki][leak sanitizer wiki]), and [undefined behavior |
|
| 221 |
+sanitizer][] are linked into all targets. The sanitizers can be disabled by |
|
| 222 |
+passing `DISABLE_SANITIZERS` to the `common` function. Suppression files that |
|
| 223 |
+match the [glob][]s `*.asan.supp`, `*.lsan.supp`, and `*.ubsan.supp` |
|

| 242 |
+For [top level project][]s compiled with the `Debug` [build type][], |
|
| 243 |
+[Cppcheck][], [Clang-Tidy][], and [Include What You Use][] are automatically |
|
| 244 |
+configured if present on the system. The tools can be disabled by passing the |
|
| 245 |
+`DISABLE_CPPCHECK`, `DISABLE_CLANG_TIDY`, and/or `DISABLE_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE` |
|
| 246 |
+options, respectively, to the `common` function. CppCheck suppressions list |

|
| 248 |
+named `.clang-tidy`, and Include What You Use [mapping files][] that match the |
|
